AUGUSTA, GA (WFXG) - UPDATE:

James Clifton Tate Jr. was booked and processed into the Richmond County Jail Thursday. Tate was wanted for shooting Bertha Lopez on Wednesday at Pinnacle Place apartments. Tate is charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm, during the commission of a crime.

We need to clarify, the Richmond County Sheriff's Office initially told us and other media stations that James Donnell Tate was wanted for this shooting. They have since retracted that. We are now told James Donnell Tate had nothing to do with this crime.
